2.23.2 Installing Windows® 7 / 7 64-bit / VistaTM / VistaTM 64-bit Without RAID Functions If you want to install Windows® 7 / 7 64-bit / VistaTM / VistaTM 64-bit OS on your SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs without RAID functions, please follow below steps. Using SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs with NCQ function STEP 1: Set Up UEFI. A. Enter UEFI SETUP UTILITY Advanced screen Storage Configuration. B. Set the option "SATA Mode" to [AHCI]. (For SATA2_0 to SATA2_3, SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 ports.) Set the options "Marvell 9172 SATA3_M0_M1 Operation Mode", "Marvell 9172 SATA3_M2_M3 Operation Mode" and "Marvell 9172 eSATA3_0_1 Operation Mode" to [AHCI]. STEP 2: Install Windows® 7 / 7 64-bit / VistaTM / VistaTM 64-bit OS on your system. Using SATA / SATA2 / SATA3 HDDs without NCQ function STEP 1: Set Up UEFI. A. Enter UEFI SETUP UTILITY Advanced screen Storage Configuration. B. Set the option "SATA Mode" to [IDE]. (For SATA2_0 to SATA2_3, SATA3_0 and SATA3_1 ports.) Set the options "Marvell 9172 SATA3_M0_M1 Operation Mode", "Marvell 9172 SATA3_M2_M3 Operation Mode" and "Marvell 9172 eSATA3_0_1 Operation Mode" to [IDE]. STEP 2: Install Windows® 7 / 7 64-bit / VistaTM / VistaTM 64-bit OS on your system. 2.24 Untied Overclocking Technology This motherboard supports Untied Overclocking Technology, which means during overclocking, BCLK enjoys better margin due to fixed PCI / PCIE buses. Before you enable Untied Overclocking function, please enter "Overclock Mode" option of UEFI setup to set the selection from [Auto] to [Manual]. Therefore, BCLK is untied during overclocking, but PCI / PCIE buses are in the fixed mode so that BCLK can operate under a more stable overclocking environment. Please refer to the warning on page 11 for the possible overclocking risk before you apply Untied Overclocking Technology. 58
